Lisa Rinna Gushes About Getting Booed At BravoCon: 'I Felt Like A Wrestler'

TV personality Lisa Rinna is not feeling the heat at all. The reality star recently revealed that she was considerably more upbeat than people expected after being booed while getting on stage during BravoCon. Prior to her unexpected reception at the event, Rinna was not in the best place with her "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" cast members, particularly Kathy Hilton.
The duo's tiff has definitely escalated from the Aspen clubhouse incident where Rinna claimed Hilton had abused the entire Bravo cast, including her sister, Kyle Richards. In the first episode of the reunion, Hilton notably called Rinna "the biggest bully in Hollywood," words she backed up when asked about the actress' booing incident.
Rinna was loudly booed during BravoCon, and according to the reality star, the reception was more of an achievement than a reality check. She called it a "rite of passage" and, in the same breath, joked that the WWE should sign her on as a wrestler in their company.

Lisa Rinna Said Getting Booed Was A 'Rite Of Passage'
In an interview with E! News after her booing incident on BravoCon, Rinna revealed that despite how worried about her everyone seemed, she only thought of the crowd's reaction as a "rite of passage." She likened the incident to moments when wrestlers would get on stage and be booed; however, the response only signifies that they were the star of the show.
"A rite of passage. Everybody was very worried that I was booed, and I take it as a rite of passage like a wrestler," she said. "It's like wrestling. While I grew up, I watched wrestling at the local armory, and if you were booed, you were the star."
Rinna further revealed that she couldn't wait to call her husband, Harry Hamlin, and tell him about the entire incident.

After hearing the loud boos of the crowd, the actress didn't take the reaction sitting down and notably displayed two middle fingers to the crowd. When Rhodes asked about her response, Rinna described it as "classic." The reality star also talked about the possibility of her joining the "WWE," which she incorrectly called the "WME," then went on to rule out the idea after referring to herself as a "weakling."
"That was my reaction. Classic right? What else are you gonna do when you get booed?" she said. "I could be a wrestler if I wasn't such a, like a weakling. Maybe I have a future with the WME. Because you know, I'm always trying to work it like how can I make more money."
Rinna went on to talk about the wrestling company and revealed she might have a career as a wrestler, although she was certain she would be "smashed" upon getting into the ring. When asked about her current relationship with Hilton, Rinna said the duo was "cordial" to each other.
Lisa Rinna Said She Was Her 'Own Worst Enemy'
The first episode of "RHOBH" season 16 three-part reunion showed fans a side of Rinna they did not like. After being booed while climbing on stage to the housewives panel during Friday's BravoCon, the reality star addressed fans' responses.
She revealed that she thought of herself as her "own worst enemy" and admitted that she wasn't the biggest fan of her actions this past year. "I'm my own worst enemy. I mean, I think we all are when we take a look at it," Rinna said.
The reality star shed light on her previous comments on social media and told Brad Goreski, the panel moderator, that she agreed that she tended to go overboard online sometimes. "I will say that that is kind of how I reacted to everything this year, and I wouldn't recommend it," Rinna added.
Lisa Rinna Flipped Off The Booing Fans At BravoCon
While other "RHOBH" cast members were applauded while walking to the "Thrills in Beverly Hills" panel, Bravo fans loudly booed Rinna. Dorit Kemsley, her co-star, attempted to drown out the sound by encouraging Rinna's fans to applaud her loudly.
The booed reality star responded by showing the crowd of disapproving fans her middle finger, wordlessly saying she wasn't a fan of them either. When the actress got on the BravoCon panel, she talked about her previous issue with Sutton Stracke and how she was "horrified" by her actions.
Rinna notably screamed at her co-star, Stracke, for insulting her during a "Watch What Happens Live" episode. The reality star said, "When it happened, I didn't remember it like that, so to see it back, I was really quite horrified."
